Hill: I'm heading for big screen

Harry Hill has revealed he plans to make a road trip movie.

The big-collared funnyman quit his beloved TV Burp show in March and is now set to hit the big screen with a film inspired by the 1985 comedy Pee-wee's Big Adventure.

He told the Daily Telegraph: "It's partly a road trip, with a sick hamster and some badgers involved, plus some songs and guest appearances - the kind of thing I always do, but a bit longer and wider."

Harry admitted TV Burp had become tougher to make since the launch of constructed reality shows such as ITV2's The Only Way Is Essex.

"You got this new, knowing breed of shows, like The Only Way Is Essex, where the jokes were already built in, and there was no leverage for us," he said.

"Even Coronation Street became jokier."

The comic also said he isn't in a hurry to make another TV show.

He explained: "Following TV Burp is a bit like following Dark Side Of The Moon. It's got to be really, really good."
